Galactic Transporter Inc

I can’t believe anyone would give these guys a low rating after my experience. We got the SF giants themed bus for my birthday and it was probably one of the best times I’ve ever had. The bus was super cool. The price was much less than I thought it would be. We toured all around the city, got out and had short dance parties at various landmarks. Yes, you should do that!
April was our driver. She let us do everything we wanted to and was very helpful. Can’t wait to do it again.

This company is also known as Starlight Party Bus. Our experience on the day from start to finish was a total joke. The bus was late to start, I had to call them to find out where they were, only to be told that the bus broke down on the way, they didn’t even call me. The kids were supposed to be picked up at approximately 5pm, we didn’t leave until 7.30pm. The kids all missed their dinner reservations in San Francisco and had to eat dinner where they live! The bus they sent was NOT the bus we had requested, the bus was practically held together with duck tape. The inside was a dump, the speakers were blown, holes in the seats that were not secured down, dirty, cup holders with no bottom, my daughter put a drink in the holder and it fell right through. The driver was rude, and possibly on drugs. The stories between the owner and driver differed, he said it was his first time driving for them, when I confronted the owner she said her husband had ‘known’ him for 2 years. I would not recommend anyone use this bus company, they totally ruined what was supposed to be a fun night for the kids at prom, the worst service ever!!!

When pulling up to drop off my son and his date for their chartered ride to the senior ball on ⁵⁄₁₂ I was praying that the charter bus in front of me was not their bus. The bus was sub standard with broken windows, no air conditioning, diesel fuel leaking all over the parking lot and nearly flat tires. The interior had been modified with bench seating, rope lighting, a «stripper» pole and a sound system. The kids were excited to go but were all complaining about the stifling heat on the bus. The windows were inoperable and when one student tried to open a window it fell out and shattered on the ground. Each student was charged $ 50 and there were 20+ students on the bus for the ride to/​from Danville to AT&T park. Many of the parents as well as myself were concerned that the bus would even make the drive to San Francisco. I would never recommend this company to anyone. The fee was overpriced for the transportation provided and the bus itself seemed unsafe. On a side note my son lost his cell phonon the bus and was told he could come out to Oakland and pick it up on Sunday. After reaching the driver on Sunday the kids were told they needed to come out to San Francisco to retrieve the phone and that the driver was carrying a gun just in case my son was going to try and jump him. What the hell kind of statement is that! Is that a threat? He did receive his phone but the whole experience was weird. One of the parents took pictures of the condition of the bus which I will try and get posted on this site.

If i could i would give this company company 0 stars. I would never never recommend this company even to a enemy as a joke
I had weirdly the same experience that Raven did only this was last night March 24^th 2012 and it was my junior prom.
Even before getting on the bus when paying for the ride the driver was completely unprofessional and demanded the money right away. Being very rude and loud. Okay fine, we agreed to pay the money all upfront and just get going
.Get on the bus and the driver is barely paying attention while we are driving with 57 kids in the RAIN. Texting. Counting money. Swearing. And unwrapping toilet paper??(look at pictures I posted)
So when we were leaving the prom we waited for our bus to arrive for an hour and When they finally arrived it was a completely different bus and they said the other broke down. The bus we got on reeked of marijuana and there were two guys that weren’t even bus drivers. The one with all our Stuff on it! By this time we just want to get back there
We stopped in the middle of the street to meet with another bus that apparently had our stuff on it. Turns out they only returned half and then said they would return the rest in the stuff in the morning.
So when we FINALLY get back into town instead of dropping us off at the after party he drops us off at the place we took pictures at. With NO keys to our car and half of us got rides with our parent and we were in the RAIN with no way to get there. He just tells us to get off and that was pretty much it.
Seriously worst experience and so incredibly unprofessional.

I’m a high school senior and my prom was yesterday. I booked this company in April. The pictures looked good and the woman, Maria seemed great. I was excited to be all set because last year there were charters so I was glad that I could do this for me and all my friends. I booked the 50-​passenger «Mardi Gras’» themed bus. They arrived on time and the bus was actually really nice and clean. We were set on our way to prom, little did we know…
1. The speakers sucked, you couldn’t hear anything at the front of the bus.
2. Our bus driver, Ronnie, was this old guy that couldn’t even walk straight and was on the phone the WHOLE time. When we were on the bridge this guy was so close to tipping us over we were scared for our life.
3. I’m more than likely sure that this guy was on crack or some sort of drugs or under the influence.
4. When we got into the city, the San Francisco streets being as small as they are, this guy tried to squeeze us into a street that we couldn’t get into and he almost hit a trolley with people on it. Then he caused a traffic jam.
5. So we get there, and by this time, cops are talking to the driver. Apparently, he didn’t even have a license to drive this big bus! We’re a block away and it’s already 7. You know we roll deep with girls, so you know they all complained when we ended up having to WALK the rest of the way.

At around 10:30, 15 minutes before my prom ends, I call Maria. She says «The bus is on it’s way.» I felt great, I was reassured. 5 minutes…10 minutes…15 minutes… By this time, all my friends are outside. In the FREEZING cold, it’s raining. And they’re trying to keep themselves entertained by sketchy homeless people. I call the bus lady and she says to me «Your bus got towed I have to send two charters.» (Honestly, I don’t think it got towed because the «engine blew out» like they told us. I think they didn’t just want to tell us that our driver didn’t have a license!) Mind you, all our stuff was on the other bus as well. Ok wtf? I didn’t pay for charters to take me home. These charters smelled, were hot, and didn’t even have enough seating for all of us.
The charter I was on, the bus driver was a funny guy. Made the ride home a little better. He informed us that Ronnie, the original bus driver had 8, EIGHT, DUIs. What kind of person that has 8 DUIs works for a bus driving company?
On the other bus, this bus driver tried to steal one of my friend’s phone. Her dad took off on him.
All in all, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are seriously just trying to screw you over. Overpriced for what you get. I’m planning on getting a full refund for the inconvenience and dangerous time they put us through.
